I would want them to tell me also if they liked this version as much as the other or if they even liked this one more. Just because the task seems to hard at some points doesn’t mean that they can never succeed with accomplishing that goal.Īfter reading the story I would allow time for everyone to discuss if they have heard a different version of this book and let them talk about how this version is different. If you work hard enough then you can work for what you want. I think that children can relate to this book by never giving up on something that they want. There is a decent amount of text on each page, but I think that the words are big enough and spaced enough that it will allow the reader to follow with ease. Mayer uses a fair amount of negative space on each of the pages that have text and even some that have the illustrations on them. The illustrations help tell the story that Mayer is retelling and helps the reader with the differences that are in this story than maybe the other story that they have once heard. The author/artist has embellished this folktale of the princess who sleeps under an evil spell for 100 years with some details of his own. Mayer uses lots of vivid bright colors which captures the reader’s attention.
